Takaki led the effort against the Mustangs with 25 points, including five three-pointers and two free throws. Takaki scored 13 points in the first half and came back with nine in the second half.

Megan Schelbli also had a solid game for the Warriors with nine points, five at the line.

"We're very defensive oriented," said Westmont head coach John Mackey. "We believe that the defense fuels the offense."

It would appear that the Westmont ideal is right, winning the game after trailing 31-28 at the half. Westmont's defense held the Pioneer offense to 18 points in the second half, including only six in the fourth quarter.
